Cellphones can be considered as one of the greatest inventions of all time, but can also be considered as one of the greatest detriments. Mostly due to the fact that cellphones are one of the leading causes of both car accidents and robbery in recent history, despite of what a dynamics ax reseller would say.

How do cellphones cause car accidents?

Pretty easy actually, more and more drivers each day like to believe that they’re really good at multitasking. Thinking that they can drive while talking or texting on the phone. Forgetting that it just takes that split second of you taking your eyes off the road to possibly cause yourself, and others, serious harm. Due to the amount of accidents accrued over a course of time, numerous states have implemented laws to protect the driver and others. Around 12 states ban you from using hand-held cellphones and 41 states ban you from texting while driving. And, of course, 37 states ban any kind of cellphone usage for teens while driving.

What do cellphones have to do with robbery?

Cellphones are very expensive. In a world where there’s a huge gap between the rich and the poor, some can’t obviously afford the nicer selection of cellphones and feel like their best bet to acquire one is to rob someone else for theirs. People that are caught for doing so are charged with grand theft, which is a felony and is punishable by up to 25 years in prison.

How to resolve these issues?

If planning to talk on the phone while driving, consider buying a Bluetooth headset or program so that you can do so while keeping your eyes on the road. Do not text at all. Numerous cellphones have the option to talk to text, which companies encourage most to use if the cellphone has that option. If those options do not work, then just make a complete stop before using a cellphone to place any calls or text.

One can never truly know if, or when, they can become the victim of a robbery. In any case, to lessen the chances, try to limit the usage of the cellphone in public and try to keep watch of your surroundings at all times. It only takes a few seconds for a potential robber to snatch your prized possession and run off. Make sure to never play hero either, phone companies have insurance and you can certainly get another.
